The Inner West Council will be trialing a ‘Play Streets’ program in upcoming months, which will see play spaces created by temporarily closing streets so that children and their parents can play outside. As many children living in the Inner West don’t have backyards or access to open space, this trial will see existing spaces, such as laneways, become more adaptable so children in the Inner West can live more active lives.

Two streets will be chosen to road-test the concept in April and May. These streets will be fully or partially closed for two to three hours on a Sunday afternoon. For more information head to buff.ly/2W3DPLy

It’s fair to say that folks in the Inner West love their dogs. And when it comes to places for pups to roam, run and swim, there are some fantastic local options! Check out the list below for Devine’s top picks of best dog parks in the Inner West:
